Slightly more efficient.
If you have Excel 2002 or higher use the Evaluate Formula command and see
how many steps it takes each variation of the formula to calculate. I would
use a small data set for this, like 5-10 rows.
If you actually timed the calculation the difference would probably be
negligible on a small dataset. But on a large dataset there is a
considerable difference.
Screecap:
average calc times for 10 rows and 10,000 rows

SP doesn't support full columns (not until Excel 200&), but specific
ranges.

I want to sum values in column C based on a test of text values in
columns
A
& B. Sumif only seems to support testing the value of one column not
two.
Is there a way to accomplish my goal?
